research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a common type of hair loss in men and women, caused by a testosterone byproduct affecting hair follicles, with sensitivity determined by genetics.
research Testosterone Metabolite Nonessential For Androgen Effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research More About X-Linked Testicular Feminization of the Mouse as a Noninducible (is) Mutation of a Regulatory Locus: 5α-Androstan-3α-17β-Diol as the True Inducer of Kidney Alcohol Dehydrogenase and β-Glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research Anti-Androgenicity of Flutamide and Its Metabolite SCH 16423
Flutamide and its metabolite can effectively reduce androgen effects.
research Hyperandrogenism and Pilosebaceous Follicles
High levels of androgens can cause skin issues like acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition caused by testosterone effects on hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hair, diagnosed using scalp dermoscopy and treated with topical minoxidil, antiandrogen agents, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
research Retinoids: New Uses and New Synthetic Agents
New retinoids are effective for various skin conditions and are being developed to have fewer side effects.
research Clinical and Hormonal Evaluation of Androgen Excess
Most cases of high male hormone levels in women are due to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The Psychosocial Burden of Androgenetic Alopecia in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study
Hair loss in Saudi Arabia causes a low psychosocial impact, with less effect on those without a family history of hair loss.
research Prostaglandin D2 Enhances Testosterone Metabolism by ROS-Mediated Altered Redox Potential in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research The Association Between Androgenic Alopecia Severity and the Development of Metabolic Syndrome in Saudi Arabia: A Case-Control Study
There's a significant link between severe hair loss and metabolic syndrome in Saudi Arabia, suggesting early health checks could prevent future issues.
research Recent Developments in Alopecias

research Increased DHT Levels in Androgenic Alopecia Selected to Protect Men from Prostate Cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Effectiveness of Short-Term Canrenone Treatment in Idiopathic Hirsutism
Canrenone effectively reduced hair growth and testosterone levels in women with excessive hairiness.
research Androgenetic, Diffuse, and Senescent Alopecia in Men: Practical Evaluation and Management
The conclusion is that treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can prevent baldness progression and improve hair density, but more research is needed on other therapies.
research Formulation and Evaluation of Herbal Cream for the Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
